“Suffering forces us to change.

We don’t like change and most of the time we fear it and fight it. We like to remain in emotionally familiar places even though sometimes those places are not healthy for us. On occasion, the suffering is so great that we have to give it up. We surrender the old and begin anew. Often it is the pain we experience that leads us, not to a different life, but a richer and more rewarding one.”

I was clearing out some notes and found the following technique typed up with the name “Wendy Metcalf” below the notes. I attended a breathing class about a year ago, Wendy was our teacher. I thought I’d share it with you today.

1. Sit comfortably with a straight back, hands in your lap. Close your eyes.
2. Start to breathe in through your nose and out through a slightly open mouth.
3. Notice how the breath feels as it enters and leaves the body.
4. Put all your attention on the quality of the breath. Enjoy the breath.
5. Start to breathe more deeply, feeling your rib cage expand as you breathe in.
6. Take even deeper breaths in and longer breaths out.
7. As you breathe, imagine you are breathing in all the things you need – energy, alertness, a sense of well-being…
8. With each out-breath, imagine you are getting rid of all the things you don’t need – anxiety, fear, self-doubt…
9. With each in-breath, you become more energized and with each out-breath, you become more relaxed.
10. Notice how your body is feeling. Retain the feeling for as long as you can.

I’m starting to think that I need to change the heading of these weekly posts to something other than Monday Motivation because I always seem to write something that doesn’t quite fit the motivational category.

Anyway, this week’s post is intended to help you write better and more achievable objectives.

Are your Objectives SMART?

Research tells us that clear objectives with effective ways to measure them means that objectives are easier to achieve. Different studies give different successful results, but all the evidence seems to point to

Specific objectives + ways to Measure them + can you Achieve them + are they Relevant + is there a Time frame= increased chance of successful attainment of objectives

The acronym SMART is a well known term and a term I come across constantly and I have found that the concept of making objectives SMART is deceptively simple.
